EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant wood engraving from 1873 captures the heart-wrenching reality of eviction during a time of great struggle in America. In this scene, a family is being forced out of their home by their landlord, as depicted by The Granger Collection. The room they once called home now appears barren and desolate, with only a few belongings remaining. A group consisting of parents, children, and even pets gather together amidst the chaos. The worn-out chair and stove serve as reminders of the meager existence this family endured before being uprooted from their humble abode. A kettle sits atop the stove, perhaps symbolizing the warmth that will soon be extinguished for this displaced family. Amidst this somber setting, we see individuals representing different generations: a young girl clutching her shawl tightly; an elderly grandmother seated nearby; and a couple standing strong in support of one another. Their expressions convey both resilience and despair as they face uncertain times ahead. It is important to remember that behind every eviction lies human lives disrupted by poverty and hardship. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by countless families throughout American history. As we reflect on this image captured over a century ago, may it inspire us to work towards creating more equitable societies where no family has to endure such hardships again.
